Abstract
A guiding system for a moveable sunroof system includes at least one first guide rail for a first vehicular component and at least one second guide rail for a second vehicular component. The first and second guide rails are connected with each other and are tailored to their unique load requirements by employing materials having different properties. Further, the guide rails can be modified independently from one another. If, for instance, the geometry of the second guide rail has requires modification, it is not necessary to modify the entire guiding system. Instead, it is sufficient to modify only the second guide rail to the new requirements. Therefore, portions of the guide rail system may easily be replaced.
